Help with Cork

[Bobbike]

Well the rod was finished a couple of weeks ago. I took it out for a test and BAM, 3rd cast and it broke right at the bottom ferrul. Guess I smashed the fibers when I put it in the drill to try and turn the cork. Oh well, lesson learned and its on the way back to St. Croix.

you were supposed to put the cork on a threaded rod and into the drill press , not clamp onto the rod.
